Inspired from the hanging gardens of Babylon, the incorporation of the aqua and the flora in the design creates a therapeutic environment minimizes stress around the workplace.

The generous use of local vegetation and water features was the main catalyst in this design. Middle east has this desire for water and live and various kinds of vegetation and the Philippines is abundant of those resources thus fusing it creates a harmonious and peaceful place to work and be productive.

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF TECHNOLOGY

UNIVERSITY / FIRM:

THESIS ADVISER:

LOCATION:

University of Santo Tomas Ar. Manuel Maximo Noche Manila, Philippines

The Philippines has its own story of technology from ancient times up to the period of colonization and now, the present time. Local and international innovations, concepts, and ideas are brought to life for future scholars, inventors, and researchers through education enhanced with the use of technology where people can see, learn, and feel.

As the National Museum experienced a drastic increase of visitors each year, there is a need for the people to know the technological history of the Philippines and of the world. A place where they can learn something new through immersive experiences making the museum more attractive to the public. A place where people can have access to these technologies in order to provide a more effective understanding.

Through empathy and focus, we understand things as they really are. In understanding, we unlock opportunities. In opportunities, we grow.

The National Museum of Technology will be an institutional landmark for our future where priceless and unseen investments are embedded to every visitor, young and old, that someday will become a role-player in improving local technologies.

DANCING FACADE

UNIVERSITY / FIRM:

LOCATION: University of Santo Tomas Parañaque City, Philippines

Architecture is used to portray and express the function ans the value of the building to create an identity and to radiate emotion and intimacy.

An opera house that will house first class theatrical performances here in the Philippines. Opera houses aren’t a common sight here in the Philippines and building one increases the theatrical and cultural experience and awareness of the people.

Inspired from graceful ballet dancers, the design is to create a harmonious yet subtle elevated emotions between the performers, the audience, and architecture. The fusion and form of the gold, silver, and bronze facade is inspired from the movements of dancers and soundwaves of singers blending harmoniously to create a performance.
